I think I kno...Woot woot! You're in the house!<br /><br />I think I know exactly what you mean about two personalities. Carpet has a way of doing that, but I think you'll feel a lot better about the upstairs once you get things the way you want it.<br /><br />I don't know if I mentioned this before (senility creeping in) but one of my first posts was about the perfect sized kitchen and it was pretty close to yours. I actually have a photo of my perfect kitchen in that post and it looks quite a bit like yours. No lie. I'm so glad you've come to embrace it, because I know at first you thought it too small. It's NOT!!<br /><br />I didn't know you were ill, but glad you're better. We got home on Monday and have been playing catch up with unpacking, laundry...the fun stuff. lol<br /><br />xxxDoreen@foxdenrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418636999038800443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-13397964132158616902017-04-13T18:26:07.671-05:002017-04-13T18:26:07.671-05:00Thank you so much Judith!

I’ve always wanted a white kitchen because they feel so spacious and always seem to be a happy place! We are definitely thrilled that the water issues are behind us and are really looking forward to getting the rest of our belongings into place! I know you are ready to get that done also! Hope you have a wonderfully blessed Easter!

The hubster and I share the same passion about the books…he has even mentioned dirty words to me…e-readers! I love the feel of a book in my hand and I don’t think an e-reader is going to be the same. While I understand the e-books take up much less space and are perfect for traveling, there is nothing that can ever replace the feel of a book! Thank you so very much! I love the white kitchen and all the light that comes in during the day! You can always put your kitchen on the list for the fall One Room Challenge! 😉 Have a wonderfully blessed Easter sweet friend!

Occasionally I am able to donate a few books, but then I seem to bring in double what I sent out the door. My daughter and I share a love for used book stores, which her husband lectures her about. She has taken to sneaking more books into their home, haha!! <br />Your kitchen is just gorgeous. The light and white must be so uplifting, which is something I know nothing about as our kitchen is a dark dungeon, bleh. <br />Happy Easter dear friend!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03017368307967996380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-66089960863551464612017-04-12T10:50:16.340-05:002017-04-12T10:50:16.340-05:00Pacing yourself is a hard lesson learned, right? ...Pacing yourself is a hard lesson learned, right?
